Recent reports highlight the controversial deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, where many face dire conditions in a notorious mega-prison. U.S. officials, including Senator Marco Rubio, have confirmed the deportation of numerous alleged gang members, while human rights advocates raise alarms about the treatment of deported individuals, most of whom reportedly lack a criminal record. Inside the prison, undocumented migrants live in harsh conditions, often indistinguishable from actual criminals. Families of the deported have expressed concerns over the disappearances and the lack of access to information regarding their loved ones. Despite the criticisms, U.S. officials maintain that such deportations are necessary as part of a broader immigration strategy.
